ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN JUNE 1995 LIMA NEWSLETTER HOW TO INSTALL FUNNELWEB ON A HARD DRIVE by Charles Good Lima Ohio User Group This article assumes you are installing Funnelweb on SCSI hard drive #1. The device name is SCS1 (that's a "one"). If you are installing on a hard drive controlled by a Myarc HFDC card substitute the letters "HDS" or "WDS" each time "SCS" is used in this article. You need to put all the Funnelweb files you plan to put on your hard drive on a floppy disk, configure these files on disk, and then upload them to your hard drive. Funnelweb only recognizes a directory named "FWB", so from MDOS on the Geneve and create this directory from the root directory by entering "MD FWB". The Geneve should respond with "Done". The important files to configure are FW, CF, CG, and to a lesser extent LOAD. Once properly set up and uploaded to your hard drive, not only will Funnelweb operate properly, but you can reconfigure at any time from the hard drive by running Funnelweb's configuration program. Start Funnelweb from disk. One way is to use EXEC and type "EXEC A:FW". Run Funnelweb's Configure and under the LOADING heading press H for hard disk path until WDS.FWB is displayed. Press Back (Fctn/8). Now select DEVICES and press "W" to configure a workfile name. This should be the subdirectory where most of your text files will be stored when you use Funnelweb's word processor. I suggest entering "SCS1.TEXT." for the workfile name. Press Back (Fctn/8). Now save your configuration to SYSCON, then press Back again and INSTALL this hard disk path to files FW and LOAD. Then QUIT Configure and go back to a Funnelweb central menu. Start Disk Review and bring up a directory of the disk containing your Funnelweb files. Move the cursor next to file FW and press I (for inspect). Select 2 File Search. Select ASCII and search for the string WDS1.FWB. Press 2 to edit and change this to "SCS1.FWB.". Press CTRL/W and then CTRL/A to write this change back to disk. Then press Back a few times to abandon the search. Move the cursor next to the file LOAD, press I, and in a similar manner change WDS1.FWB. to "SCS1.FWB.". Press Back a few times to abandon the search and return to the disk directory listing. Now move the cursor next to file CG and press I. Select 2 file search and search for the ascii string DSK1.S which should be at the very end of a sector. Press 2 to edit this sector and change this to SCS1.F and then move the cursor in the ascii field to the character immediately in front of the "S" that you just typed. Press Ctrl/H to go to the hex display and change this byte to 0F. Now go back to ascii by pressing Ctrl/A and move to the next sector by pressing Ctrl/N, and you will see YSCON at the beginning of the sector. Put the cursor over the Y and type WB.SYSCON and save this change with Ctrl/W followed by Ctrl/A. What you just did was change the string DSK1.SYSCON, which was spread over two sectors, to the string SCS1.FWB.SYSCON and you also altered the length byte at the beginning of the string to reflect the new longer length of the string. Press Back a few times and again search file CG, this time for "DSK1.FW" which you should type over with "SCS1.FWB.FW". Now move to the space immediately before the first S and press Ctrl/H to switch to hex. Type "0B" here to change the length byte to the new longer length and write these changes to disk with Ctrl/W and then Ctrl/A. In a similar manner search file CG for "DSK1.LOAD" and change this to SCS1.FWB.LOAD and change the length byte immediately in front of the first S to "0D". Now search for "DSK1.UL" and type over this with "SCS1.FWB.UL". Move the cursor to the space in front of the first S, do Ctrl/H for hex and change the length byte to "0B". Write these changes to disk with Ctrl/W and then Ctrl/A. Now press Back a few times to the Disk Review directory and move the cursor to file CF. Press I and search this file for the string "WDS.FWB.", which should be changed to "SCS1.FWB." and written back to disk. You are almost done. Exit Funnelweb and go to MDOS. Copy all the files on the modified Funnelweb disk to the FWB direcotory. If the disk is in the A drive and your hard drive is drive H then you can type "A:" and enter, then "COPY * SCS1.FWB." and enter will copy the files. Funnelweb should now run properly from your hard drive. You can boot it any time from extended basic, or directly from MDOS using EXEC. I have a one line batch file called FWBAT that does this. The one line in the file is "H:EXEC H:\FWB\FW". You can also from your hard drive within Funnelweb successfully run Funnelweb's CONFIGURE, which is the result of all the above changes to CF and CG. .PL 1
